Yes, if the alias check has a different configuration than the primary check then they are considered as "different" checks (as they should be, since they produce potentially different outputs and some people might lose coverage). Perhaps it would be interesting to add something to the "--explain-config" flag so the user understands why some checks are/aren't enabled.

> I still maintain that there should be a single opt-in option to completely disable all aliasee checks.

By "aliasee" do you mean "alias" checks (as opposed to "primary" check)? I'm a bit confused by the terminology :) In order words, are you proposing to opt-in to disable all alias checks, leaving only the primary check (regardless of configuration)? I suppose this should be fairly easy to implement, just don't check the configuration when removing aliases. We can support both options for people having different use cases.
